...looks not too bad at all.

Am I missing something here? The main character has to get the plans for the deathstar? Is that not the same as the very first star wars? The only difference is that the first one didn't show how they physically got the plans. How many groups of rebels tried to nick these plans? Did the rebels sub contract this out to different people?

I understand it is meant to fill in what happened just before the start of the first star wars film.

Huge great big fuck off AT-Ats and Felicity Jones beating people up. Excellent!

The dialogue is a bit ripe but you know.

Just seeing the At-Ats gave me a wee star wars semi

Just expecting something a bit more original somehow, some way.

No. The main character does not have to get the plans for the Death Star in the first film.

Dr Markus wrote:The only difference is that the first one didn't show how they physically got the plans.

The only difference? Can you list the similarities for me, other than similar characters, which is like looking at two World War II films and moaning they both have soldiers in them.



1. He has to get them to the rebels, same difference.
2. See point 1, The only difference is the phyiscal getting of said plans.

Splitting hairs to be honest, but like i said was expecting something more original, some how, some way.

Will the new characters look cool when made into dollies and left in their box next to the lego, er At-Ats ?

The point of this is to show how the rebels got the plans before Star Wars (1977) took place.

One thing I don't get is when they're reprimanding her they list off a bunch of her offences and the first is forging Imperial documents. Perhaps there's something untold going on but why would they care about a rogue without sides forging enemy stuff?

What kind of route were you thinking?

The trailer certainly took me by surprise. No John Williams fanfare, a very dark tone, a cliched alarm noise repeating itself to different images of war. It's very different compared to the trailers of The Force Awakens which promote it as an old fashioned fun space opera.

I don't know, give me the money the writer/writers are getting and I'll think one up.

That was Return of the Jedi. This is to do with Death Star I.

Does it have to be about the Death Star again? Why didn't they take the opportunity to bring in the earlier prototypes, The Dead-Leg Star, or the Paper-Cut Star?
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

I saw this today. It was very good.

At some point I think overkill will set in, with all the proposed spin-offs and series etc, but this one was definitely worthwhile. It felt grittier, more down-to-earth in a way, as befits a spin-off, even one with huge explosions and space battles and galaxytrotting action (the opening fifteen minutes were like a travelogue of the Star Wars Universe with sixty-second features for every planet!). There's a good focus on the characters rather than the action, with only the final sequence - oddly reminiscent of Second World War films - being a really big setpiece (and coming just in time to stop the film flagging), and therefore it's a real credit to the cast: it's the actors who make this one work. Felicity Jones is fiery and frustrated, a real person thrown into the galactic madness; Diego Luna is weary but determined, again like a WWII resistance fighter; Alan Tudyk a very darkly deadpan droid; and Ben Mendehlson is a persuasive villain, power-hungry but all too aware that he's just one of many circling sharks.
There's no real Force stuff going on - brief Vader appearance, Donnie Wen is a kind of semi-Jedi character - and I can imagine pedantic nerds like the one K quoted will find a lot to moan about, but for the average fan there's a lot to enjoy.

It was ace. Had the devil of a job convincing my daughter that Peter Cushing has been dead for years.
